The Manx is the personification of performance—born from the same design philosophy as the Manx R, reimagined for the street. Embodying the same engineering integrity and visceral energy to evoke powerful emotions. With its upright ergonomics, torque-rich power delivery, and reductive design, it’s built not just to move fast, but to move your soul. This is performance without pretence. Every detail is purposeful, every ride immersive. From its intuitive electronics to its refined ergonomics, the Manx is designed to thrill at any speed, in any setting.
Design
The Manx is a bold expression of refined aggression, muscularity, and stance. Every element speaks to purposeful minimalism, where elegance meets intensity. This is modernity through reduction, a machine that feels fast even when standing still, and remains unmistakably Norton.
Sharing its DNA with the Manx R superbike, the Manx’ design is reinterpreted through the lens of the mean streets. Its proportions convey strength, power, and purpose, while preserving the sophisticated, modern, and reductive design language.
Dynamics
The Manx’s 1200cc V4 engine is tuned for responsive, usable power across the rev range — delivering an immediate throttle feel that complements the upright and commanding riding position. Whether navigating traffic or opening-up on country lanes, the powertrain feels intuitive and rewarding. The chassis, derived from Norton’s road racing heritage, is engineered for ergonomic synergy. The cast frame construction allows for tight tolerances and integrated componentry, balancing rigidity with controlled flex to deliver a ride that feels planted yet responsive. Semi-active suspension works by adapting in real time to speed, terrain, and input. This ensures consistent composure and comfort — absorbing urban irregularities while maintaining precision through spirited cornering. The system supports a natural riding stance, reducing fatigue and enhancing control over longer distances.
Detail
The Manx blends purposeful design with precision engineering and refined performance. From its clean frame and aggressive air intakes, every detail is shaped for clarity, control and individuality. With no visible fasteners, the form stays pure and uninterrupted. Lightweight carbon fibre components enhance both dynamic performance and tactile appeal, proving that beauty and function can move in perfect sync. Designed to feel intuitive and natural, the handlebars, footpegs and control switches are seamlessly integrated—while advanced tech including the signature 8” touchscreen TFT keeps the rider focused on the experience. Manx is where form, function and emotion move as one.
Smart Control, Focused Performance
Take charge of every ride with intelligent tech that works with you. Customisable and pre-set ride modes let you tailor your setup, while advanced traction, wheelie, and slide controls help keep things smooth when the pace picks up. Cornering Cruise Control maintains speed through bends with precision, while the quick shifter and smart gear prompts help you extract peak performance. An intuitive 8” TFT touchscreen and keyless access keep things simple and connected. Bluetooth calling, media control, and smart device sync bring ride stats and notifications to your fingertips.
Responsive, Sharp and Consistent
Co-developed with Marzocchi, this semi-active system enhances riding comfort and control. Real-time sensors monitor suspension travel and velocity as you ride, instantly adjusting damping to keep performance sharp and consistent. Switch between pre-set riding modes that deliver distinct suspension setups—from smooth comfort on long stretches to focused control in tight corners.
Confidence You Can Feel
Safety on the Manx is built to work with you—not against you. Cornering ABS, engine braking and slip control operate in the background to keep things steady when the ride gets focused. At the core of the braking system is the Brembo Hypure caliper—delivering strong, responsive stopping power with precision you can trust. Paired with a clear touchscreen dash and tactile switch cubes, the Manx puts control right where you need it—so every ride feels sharp, secure, and dialled in.
V4 Power that Connects
Unleash a ride that’s as characterful as it is rewarding—built to perform where it counts: out on the road. Norton’s unique 1200cc 72º V4 engine with a phased-pulse firing order ensures a visceral connection between rider and machine. Producing 206bhp at 11,500rpm and 130Nm at 9000rpm, the Manx doesn’t just perform on paper—it excels under real-world usage.
Reflects Your Ride
The Manx’s under-slung exhaust is sleek and tucked in—designed to keep the bike’s silhouette clean and purposeful. The real character comes through in the sound. The exhaust delivers a smooth, responsive growl that builds with the speed. Beneath its refined form lies acoustic precision. Every note is orchestrated—creating a smooth, resonant growl that evolves across the torque curve.
Clarity In Motion
The Manx’s single-sided swingarm puts the rear wheel on full display—clean, sharp, and unapologetically bold. It’s a design choice that speaks to riders who want their bike to look as purposeful as it rides. Engineered for strength and simplicity, the swingarm blends form and function without the fuss. It’s not about elegance—it’s about clarity. Every detail is there for a reason, and every angle tells a story of performance, precision, and personal style.
Refined Finish
Crafted for riders who expect more, the Manx’s carbon fibre body panels deliver a finish that blends precision light weight engineering with design fluency. Every surface reflects a commitment to refined performance—where aesthetics are never separate from intent. Carbon fibre wheels are engineered for optimal weight reduction without compromise. By lowering unsprung mass, they unlock sharper cornering, faster acceleration, and more responsive braking—enhancing control while elevating the ride.
Precision Illumination. Signature Presence.
The Manx’s LED headlight system blends precision engineering with design, featuring 30 individually controlled high-performance LEDs that deliver crisp, confident illumination—perfectly suited to urban and open-road exploration. A distinctive start-up and shut-down sequence in the headlight and taillight creates a signature look that’s both expressive and functional. The bold and aggressive headlight integrates Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) that not only enhance visibility but also assert the Manx’s commanding presence—designed to turn heads and own the road, day or night.
